I can get where you are gettnig to... but I am not too sure about the manner you are depicting the result as in your presketch image set.

Would there not be another way to impose the 'servent'ness of the human race other than the pose you had in mind? The general era it gives is a bully'ing, or a conquering/overpowering or infact diminifying.
I don't know if you had a mind to make the human be a simple and useless step for the androids to just step onto while mounting on the aircraft or not...

But I think it could be to your benefit to concider an angle of aprouch to were we would be really unmistakebly servants.
Like for example take the modern day: Our machines are servents to us (though my computer would strongly disagree) and are sort of obligated to do duties that are SO irrelevent to a machines own needs. They do things that are basicaly for human comforts.
Can you see where I am getting at? So if you just invert the situation.. it might give you some more idea's

I liked you ship so far.. and I would not want you to restart anything there. But at an early stage it would be a better idea to plan up your steps you are going to be taking.

Keep them coming.

I am every sorry for my skils in drawing (2D).I can draw a model I see, but it's very hard for me to draw the models and scenes I have in my mind. SO:

@ orion 77 - my concept is not based on a mrtial arts fight

@ BlackDidThis - Like you said, today, the machine are under control, under human control. So imagined the situation when robots took the human place. And my scene is trying to show this situation. There is a battlee starship and the android (the pilot and also the master) is trying to climb into the starship. As the starship is too high for the robot (the ship is in the air), the robots need his servant to get into his ship.In the scene I will use only a side of the starship, I need to get closer to the androind, in order to show his importance.

!0x for replys.

There is nothing to be sorry about.

As far as I read through it... the challanges are meant for us to learn aswel. And infact we are encouraged to help out.
Now unfortunately preparing a decent 2D sketch is going to play an important role on the judging period.. I would be happy to offer my assitance on it. I may not be the MOST capable in 2D, but I believe I would be able to help point out things.

So I guessed right? Well you see Simovici, thats a problem actually. The fact that I had to GUESS right. do you get my point?

The particular scene you chose to depict, sort of fails to have the servent image in the minds of all unless they read through the discription you shall provide. That was sort of why I had offered you to think in the lines of 'obviouse' captures of serving the androids.
But I understand that you had an idea and would really like to stick to it. What say you take a few steps back and relook at the scene? Sort of replay the period you just described.. would there be another moment or split-second that of which the event would be more discriptive? Another angle prehaps?

Because in the way it is, even if you were a great master in drawing.. and an even better modeler. You would have people ask the exact same question as Orion 77 asked just now. This is the part you are going to have to be a dear bit more creative. Like give the android a sort of disabitilty that prevents it to be capable to reach the craft (But again an unmistakable one). For example his leg being far more shorter than the torso. Or something else... Or like try to have the human equiped to assist the droid on the ship.. some sort of attached flat backpack or a lease.. or a something. A sort of evidence that serving is what he always does. And it would be a good practice to supply this in the early sketches.

I am so sorry for crowding up your thread like this. But what I am trying to get at is to advise convincingness. There is a very thin line between fantasy and reality. You have to depict something from the dream-world so accordingly that people could look at it and say "Hey that can actually work!" (This last part was from bits of something that Boris Valejio had said)

I am SURE you are going to come up with a great image in the end because the idea is very good. And I am serious about helping you out on what you may want to watch out for in drawing it if you want (Up to a limit though.. I think outside help beyond advices are not allowed).
